SunRay Social & Swim Club is coming to SAii Koh Samui Villas with sunrise yoga, vinyl listening sessions, poolside cocktails and a daytime-first approach to beach club culture.
Beach clubs have long been associated with marathon DJ sets and parties that only gather pace after sunset. SunRay Social & Swim Club is heading in another direction, placing wellness, long lunches, music and golden-hour drinks at the centre of the experience.
Opening exclusively to guests of the adults-only SAii Koh Samui Villas on 1 August, SunRay marks the first instalment of a wider rollout, with locations planned for SAii resorts in Phuket and the Maldives later this year.

Reimagines The All-Day Beach Club
Instead of programming the day around nightlife, SunRay takes its cues from the sun. Mornings begin with yoga and Pilates overlooking the beach, followed by laid-back vinyl sessions, board games and leisurely hours beside the pool.
Long lunches, shared plates and refreshing cocktails carry guests through the afternoon, giving SunRay Social & Swim Club the sociability of a seaside members’ club. It reflects a growing appetite for slower, experience-led travel, leaving room for everything from a vinyl record and a spritz to an evening behind the DJ booth.
A Full Day Of Food, Drinks And Entertainment
SunRay’s partnership with Bangkok audio brand Gadhouse brings designated listening corners to the club, complete with turntables, retro-inspired headphones and a handpicked vinyl library.
Between listening sessions, guests can settle in over globally inspired comfort dishes, local favourites and cocktails suited to slow daytime drinking, with happy hour running daily from 3pm to 5pm.
As sunset approaches, the soundtrack picks up through live DJ and saxophone sets, joined by fire shows and Muay Thai-inspired performances that raise the energy while preserving the club’s poolside calm.
